...have long speculated that if there are other warm, wet and cozy planets like ours, they might harbor carbon-based life like ours. Unfortunately, the vast majority of places out there are depressingly and forbiddingly unearthlike. We figured that life there, if at all possible, would probably come in highly exotic forms based on completely different chemistries from ours (silicon, for example). And yet here in front of our noses are deep-sea, carbon-based microbes able to live in hellish, almost Venus-like conditions. If here, why not out there...

...these brain afflictions can now be remedied by increasingly precise psychoactive drugs. In the past few years, scientists have joined disciplines and come up with a whole new pharmacopoeia of compounds to deal with mental disorders. "Today the psychiatrists who treat patients are working hand in hand with the 'wet-brain guys'--the pharmacologists, chemists and molecular biologists," says Dr. Steven Hyman, director of the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) in Bethesda, Maryland. While the effects of earlier psychiatric drugs were discovered largely by trial and error, the latest compounds are aimed at exact targets in the brain. "When...
